my recent favorites

Christmas has passed, leaving my once-empty pockets with some gift $$. Apparently I'm hard to shop for...with that being said, I have been able to make a few new purchases and have discovered some new favorites.
silk. The way it feels, the way it looks, let's just say I'm all about silk these days. Say goodbye to those clingy materials that show off the imperfections characteristics belonging to your body and choose silk. The last three shirts I have purchased have been silk, and I just can't get enough.

There is a store that I have found myself venturing into more often, and I purchased two of the three beauties from here. It's called BEVELLO. Say it with me. BA-VEL-O. There are two locations in Raleigh, Cameron Village and Crabtree Valley Mall. There are also various locations in Charlotte, Wilmington, Chapel Hill, Huntersville, Winston Salem, and Greenville. Check it out!

The store I found the third shirt is Banana Republic. Some of you may be thinking that BR is a little pricey, well the good news is that BR is always having a sale. AND many times passing out 30% and 40% off coupons. Take advantage of them!

booties. The Stella mid-heel booties have quickly worked its way to the top 3 favorites of the season. I typically go for flats. I mean, I'm a teacher. I'm on my feet all day, walking 10-15 miles per school day, up and down steps hundreds of times. Okay, okay. Maybe I'm being a little a lot dramatic. BUT you get my point. Well, the good news is that these booties from BR have yet to upset my feet. Because the heel is small(er), they are actually very comfy. I like them and I highly recommend them. MORE good news is that right now, they are on SALE!

Chunky jewelry. Earrings, necklaces, and bangles, OH MY! A chunky necklace can change a whole outfit. You can take a simple shirt, add a few pieces of *chunk* and wahlah! You have a brand new outfit. I recently purchased a a 6-strand real fake pearl necklace from the BR outlet in Mebane. Of course it was on sale, so I snatched up quick! I have already worn it several times and won't stop any time soon!
